Family

Argalus was the eldest son and heir of King Amyklas of Sparta, possibly by his wife, Diomede, daughter of Lapithes. Through this parentage, he was considered to be the brother of King Cynortes, Hyacinthus, Polyboea, Laodamia, and in other versions, of Daphne. Argalus was also said to be the father of King Oebalus.
